Sunday serves up a trio of Gameweek encounters, with Thursday’s Europa League ties pushing Hull and Tottenham’s home fixtures alongside Man United’s trip to the Stadium of Light.

Events begin at the KC Stadium and White Hart Lane, with Steve Bruce’s Hull hosting Stoke and Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs facing a London derby clash with QPR. Fantasy managers will be focused mainly on the latter, with Christian Eriksen the top owned asset on show from the early kick-offs.

Attention then turns to the North East, with Louis van Gaal’s United outfit taking on Sunderland in a bid to get their season underway following the opening day defeat to Swansea. With a staggering 48% ownership, Wayne Rooney remains the headline act, while Juan Mata’s 19% ownership will be holding out for returns in order to stem a tide of sales that have already seen the Spanish playmaker drop in price.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What does the figure "Rank" just over your team in "Points" mean? Why is it different from "Overall" on the right side?

    1. Frank Black

      Gameweek rank.

    2. dribbler

      it means your team is rank

      Rank is this gameweek's rank, overall is for the whole season.

    Manchester United @ManUtd · 86'- Time is running out at the Stadium of Light and, in truth, Sunderland look the more likely winners at the moment.

    an official club account tweeting that, is stupid.

      They're just being honest.

    Considering my options for Bojan replacement. What do you think of Van te? Would free up money elsewhere...

    1. Sharkytect
      • 12 Years

  7. Gooner Kebab
    • 14 Years

    Boring transfer - Arnie out for Seb or Downing?

  8. Your Mum's Athletic
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Di Maria realising he's going from playing with Ramos, Bale and Ronaldo to Blackett, Cleverley and Young.: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bv0SMqHIUAAk91U.jpg

    Fergie time....

  11. Twelve years a slave
    • 16 Years

    Oh come on Mata

    1. rickardinho
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Mata got a goal and will get bonus points, but that was far from a good performance. I'm happy that I have Fabregas as he'll get more points long-term than Mata

  12. KOKAK
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Congrats MU for the 1st point earned for EPL 2014/15.

    1. Mílanista
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 15 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Crucial point for them in the relegation fight.

  13. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    11 Per Mertesackers would be faster on the break.

  14. Sz21
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    So Lamela worth keeping afterall??
    How about Mata??

    Solid enough returns from both!

  15. Mr Chadwick
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Dawson going to Hull? Will he go straight in to replace Chester?

  16. Wilshere Knowledge
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Rooney blank! 😀

  17. Twelve years a slave
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Fingers crossed for the bonus points

  18. Andre W
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Ft 1-1

  19. Syd.
    • 17 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Sunderland were unlucky

  20. Bøwstring The Carp
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Why does Januzaj insist on trying to be the hero and smashing every chance he gets no matter how far out he is?

    Annoys the crap out of me

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      At least he's f**king trying.

      1. A Wild Lurker Appeared
        • 12 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        How about f**king passing?

        1. Bøwstring The Carp
          • 14 Years
          12 years, 26 days ago

          F**k yeah to that 😀

    2. Wakka Wakkas
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      He's horrible. A selfish player. Can't stand him.

  21. Not Irish
    • 13 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    God, that was painful. Enjoy your Mata, Mata owners.

    1. Rambo Motin
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      I TOLD YOU MUPPET 😀 Strongly disagreed with everyone selling Mata this entire week

      1. Not Irish
        • 13 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        If you feel vindicated after that more power to you I guess.

  22. Liastro ⭐️
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    All these jealous Mata sellers trying to find the positives from their idiotic move is making me giggle.

    1. Gaffers
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      They're just angry because there's not enough humble pie to go around

    2. money face bandwagon
      • 12 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      utd is still very poor..your view of looking at the transfer with just 1 week is making me giggle.

  23. Jafooli
    • 14 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Good point for Utd, should be happy with that....

    1. Home Run Baker
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      A point per game is usually enough to avoid relegation.

  24. ⭐ Bemba_Da ⭐
    • 16 Years

    United were dreadful

    1. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Absolutely.

    2. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      They have been for the last 18 months

      1. Granville
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • Has Moderation Rights
        • 17 Years
        12 years, 26 days ago

        They were champions 16 months ago

  25. Twelve years a slave
    • 16 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Fact is people who didn't own Rooney today, will not be good enough to be challenging at end of season

    1. Wilshere Knowledge
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      😯 I'm doing okay without him.

  26. Hughes Your Daddy
    • 14 Years

    Great result well done Sunderland.

  27. DIegoCosta19
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    what a joke

    valencia bonus points

  28. A Wild Lurker Appeared
    • 12 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    Judging by the performance, Id say United need a good 7 players before the end of the transfer window. At the current rate, I doubt thats going to happen.

    Buy: Vidal, Di Maria (almost done I hear), Blind, Hummels and a few to replace the below.

    Sell: Chicharito, Anderson, Nani, Young, Welbeck, Valencia, Cleverley, Smalling

    1. Licky
      • 14 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Sorry, but nobody will buy Chicharito, Anderson, Nani, Young, Welbeck, Valencia, Cleverley, Smalling.

  29. The Finnisher
    • 15 Years
    12 years, 26 days ago

    1 - One point from two games is Manchester United's worst start to a league season since 1992-93 (0 points). Sluggish.

    Van Gaal breaking more records 😎

  30. Wouter
    • 12 Years

    48 points with Sterling and Dzeko to go. Poor, poor week.

    1. The Machine
      • 13 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Not that bad

    2. Fray Bentos
      • 17 Years
      12 years, 26 days ago

      Average I'd say - could be worse
